Riyadh Air launches Pakistan and Philippines expansion with new Islamabad, Lahore and Manila flights

Riyadh Air has expanded its international network in Asia by launching new services connecting Riyadh with Islamabad, Lahore and Manila, with bookings now open for all three destinations.

The new routes are scheduled to begin from mid-August and early September, strengthening connectivity between Saudi Arabia and key markets in Pakistan and the Philippines while supporting Riyadh’s role as a regional aviation hub.

Tickets for the three destinations are now available for booking. The airline said the first flights will depart for Islamabad on August 14, Lahore on August 18, and Manila on September 9.

The new services will provide passengers travelling from Pakistan with direct access to Riyadh’s economic and business opportunities, cultural attractions and entertainment offerings.

According to Riyadh Air, the expansion will also strengthen the Saudi capital’s position as a regional air transport hub by offering onward connections to destinations across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Europe.

The airline said the launch of the new daily Manila service reflects its continued growth while providing an enhanced travel option for the Filipino community living in Saudi Arabia, alongside business travellers and tourists travelling between Riyadh and the Philippine capital.

As the capital and commercial centre of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh offers visitors from Manila direct access to major cultural landmarks, modern destinations and growing economic opportunities.

Passengers can book tickets through the Riyadh Air app, the Riyadh Air website and authorised travel partners.
